I've been trying for a long time. Started with 380 pieces of gnarled cheese. Have been successful in catching one Hydra -- but no blueprint. I am down to appx. 35 pieces of gnarled. If I don't make it...general store in Catacombs, here I come!

ıve had exactly 18 bites and 4 cacthes and still have no blueprints all i get is scrap metal. so u should be patient is what im trying to say ım in the forbidden grove. and im still trying to catch hydra witt ddb,ex.,gnarled

Got randomly lucky and caught a 13oz one in gnawnia as a novice with wood base w/target and I think the mary o'net trap or 500lb crusher. didn't drop anything so nothing special but very cool graphic/mouse! Now i wished I'd saved the log...

Just some info... According to Dave, one of the game developers, the best trap you can get to hunt the Hydra mouse is the DDB. Anyway, here’s the thing- later on you will need the DDB anyway; it’s necessary to hunt in the Tribal Islands AND it’s useful for crafting an even stronger trap. That means that owning the Drillbot now is a good investment for the future. You’ll either buy it now or buy it later. Hope this info helps. Good luck!

Guys I know from experience that the best way to catch a Hydra is using the wicked gnarled cheese which you get from the Mad Scientist mouse at the Great Gnarled Tree. He drops a potion and you use that. Then head to the Lagoon and hunt away. CAUTION!!! Wait till you have at least 30 or more wicked gnarled cheese as it is a tough place to hunt even for a GRANDMASTER. Im using a explosive toboggan ride with gingerbread base and obviously wicked gnarled cheese and ive caught 3 in a row.
